Please help!! Need help with coroute in FMC of pdmg 744

[Guest bochen747]

***Does anyone have a flightplan from KLAS to KDFW in PMDG's .rte format specifically for the 747, and FULL autopilot all the way??***Hi. I noticed a very perticular quirk in the PMDG 744's FMC coroutes.I used smithplanet.com very nice Standard Procedure's Guide and flew a great route using the KLAXKEDW.rte he provided on his website.However I CANNOT get the coroutes function to work at all in the FMC!!I have read the chapter on the PMDG FMC word for word, and it says on page 12 - 22 of "FMC USER'S MANUAL" (revision -26JUL05) :"Simulator/PMDG/FLIGHTPLANS directory. Entering ADLBNE001, for example into the 3R LSK will automatically load a flight between Adelaide and Brisbane"However when I do so it ALWAYS GIVES ME A ERROR. Either not in database error, or runway error, or always some other kind of error that should NOT be happenning! I have tried many of the 350 routes that are provided by default and they ALL result in the same kind of error! I do not believe this is my computer's problem or FSims 9.0 problem either. I have full legal version of PMDG so this is not the antipiracy problem.But why would such a huge oversight/mistake happen and be overlooked?Don't the developers even TEST their own software!!!! This is a little ridiculuos that NONE of the default routes work!I also spent a lot of time searching for previous discussions about this on this avsim.com forum and found it not helping very much.I noticed this kind of problem similair to mine has been brought up before but not fully answered and resolved.Does anyone really now whats going on here? Why does this error happen and how to resolve it ?I have used fsnavigator and fsbuild, and conversion programs that automatically convert .pln to .rte, and even used online sites that are very useful in providing routes in .rte (PMDG) format, but none of it works for the FMC of PMDG's 747-400!!!I have also tried updating the SID/STARS, and did all available updates on PMDG's Own website such as the recent 747 service update, and the once monthly Nav updates, etc..And still to no avail.infact so far the only coroute/route/flightplan that actually works without a glitch is KLAXKEDW.rte that came with smithplanet.com's pmdg 747/fmc tutorial!! This is pathetic, can someone tell me whats going on here?? I'd like to have the capability of flying with full autopilot with the 747 to more than just from LAX to EDW!!!!Thanks in advance for any advice, insight, or hint.***Does anyone have a flightplan from KLAS to KDFW in PMDG's .rte format specifically for the 747, and FULL autopilot all the way??***

Thnaks for the help.I'm new to this. FlightAware is very useful with the routes and all.But how do I select a SID+STAR?? Is there a comprehensive tutorialon how to completely build a flightplan that will let the PMDG 747-400 autopolit fly itself from takeoff all the way to landing?? Flightaware is great, but I still don't know how to go about integrating everything into the actual .rte file format itself so that the specific runways are already preselected (much like the way Smith's tutorials KLAXKEDW.rte works [http://smithplanet.com/fs2004/pmdg/]Basically, how do I step by step piece everything together (flightplan, SID+STARS, etcetc) so that I have one fully functional .rte flightplan in the flightplans folder/directory of PMDG so that it is FULLY ready to be inputted and run without ANY of the "NOT IN DATABASE" and/or "RUNWAY NOT FOUND" or other misc errors, WITH the airport runways already prechosen and preselected so all I have to do is takeoff from the predestined runway and land (WITH FULL AUTOPILOT) at the also prechosen destination runway??? Basically I want AUTOPOLIT ALL THE WAY, and to have a solid .rte file and not have to mess with the legs, fixes, or whatever else during flight. thanks.thanks
